And if one does not have liblouisutdml installed, this can be got using the python bindings with the following two lines:

import louis
louis.version()

The Java bindings have a version method which will return the versions
of both libraries. It uses the liblouisutdml function lbu_version.

liblouisutdml version can be checked with "file2brl --version". I don't think 
there's a way to find out which version of liblouis is used.

The liblouis developer team is proud to announce the liblouis release 2.5.2.
The release is available for download at:
http://code.google.com/p/liblouis/downloads/list Introduction
------------
Liblouis is an open-source braille translator and back-translator. It
features support for computer, literary and math braille, supports
contracted and uncontracted translation for many, many languages[1].
It plays an important role in an open source accessibility stack and
is used by screenreaders such as NVDA and Orca. A companion project
liblouisutdml/liblouisxml[2] deals with formatting of braille.
Changes in this release
-----------------------
While initially planned as mainly a bug fix release this release
contains some notable new features: There is a new tool to trace which
rules have been used to perform a translation. Also along with other
new tables the long awaited table for UEB is finally here.
New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* New tool to trace rule application
   There is a new tool (lou_trace) which helps to trace which rules
   have been used to perform a Braille translation. This is helpful
   for writing Braille tables. See the documentation[3] for more
   information.
* New Braille tables
   - Inuktitut grade 1, thanks to Greg Kearney.
   - UEB grade 1 and 2, thanks to Joseph Lee.
   - Korean table thanks to Joseph Lee
Braille Table Improvements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- da-gk-g2.ctb, fixes for transposed â, å, æ, ä, ø and ö,
     corrected/improved harness tests.
   - Corrections for en-GB-g2.ctb thanks to Paul Wood
   - Corrections to the Hungarian grade 1 table thanks to Hammer Attila
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Update gnulib
   - Fix a bug in the correct opcode which causes sometimes random
     results when translating. Thanks to Bert Frees.
   - Fixes for compiler warnings.
   - Fix some Valgrind warnings about invalid reads
